What a great bass, but at C$5K+, I can't see any way to justify that to myself. And for now, I'm holding my shekels to get one of the NRs coming. If pricing is about $2k, in Canada they will running nearly C$3k.

Sounds great. As said b4, I don't do 'slapandpop'. 1)I have a bone spur on my right thumb, so it would be 'slap', "OW!", no pop; B*)that technique doesn't fit any of our reputwah, er, reppertore, um, repertwoh, the stuff we play.
* I never could index worth

Oh hell yaeh! That's awesome!
Tbird and a LPB Tele - Nothing better than that.
It isn't that Thunderbirds can't do slappity poppity; it is that Thunderbird players can't/won't do slappity poppity!
Also - awesome!
Ah, come on Miles! Post the link will ya? You know none of us ever get the search feature to find anything!
Very nicely aged! What year is it?

... 1988 TB-75… should be all mahogany ...
Thank goodness you didn't try that slappity poppitty thing on your Gibson bird. It would have sounded like mud, the neck would have dove to the floor causing the headstock to shoot off like a missle taking the strings with it as each of your three point saddles fall out. You'd be left on stage with a worthless overpriced POS and a surprised look on your face.
Oh, wait a minute, this isn't the "Let's spread some musical misinformation" thread. Forget everything said above.
The slap sounded good for slap, which I normally don't like for two reasons:
1) It doesn't fit in any of the music I play or listen to.
2) I'm a low talent hack that couldn't slap to save my life.

Dunno 'bout others. This one won't.
Epiphone NR(?) They came with P/J pups, alder body.

...don‘t think so, the EPI NR appeared in 1995 ...
I had a '94 EpiBird 5er. The one thing I liked about the pups was that the P was 'reversed'-D and G string pup toward the neck. This one may have been modded. Can't see the HS, so no clue there.
The GBB doesn't go into much detail on Epi's.
